DURHAM, N.C. (AP) One Duke men's basketball walk-on will spend his summer biking across the country.

Brennan Besser plans to bike, walk and run from Seattle to New York to raise awareness and funds for his charitable foundation.

"Basketball, even though it's a game that we all love, serves, really, as a vessel for the leadership coaching that (coach Mike Krzyzewski) teaches us," Besser said Thursday. "The bike, I know that this is exciting ... but it's really just a vessel for the broader message."
